How to Survive Your First 24 Hours in a New City

Strange new places and unknown faces are enough to send anyone on a panic attack but it doesn’t have to be. Albeit a bit difficult, there are some tricks through which new travelers can keep their head above the water even as they step into a new city for the first time.

The feelings are overwhelming, exciting and terrifying at the same time. Here’s how you can survive and then enjoy your stay at your favorite destination:

Accomodation

Unless you are a pro at finding rooms or speak the native language fluently, you need to arrange for your lodging before you catch the flight. Some lodgings even offer an airport pickup service so you won’t have to worry about losing your way in the new city.

Stay Closer To Transit

Another thing needed to be done before getting on the flight is choosing the location of your stay. It must be near the public transport even if it costs you some extra cash. Being close to public transport saves you lots of time, effort and make it easier for you to rejoice the city you came to enjoy.

Don’t Tire Yourself

The desire to explore the city is understandable, especially if you have limited time but try not to overdo it on your first day. Being already weary from the long flight, you’ll hardly be able to appreciate various sites at once. Take time to adjust to the new place first and start early the next day.

Befriend a Local

Who could be a better guide than the locals themselves? Not only will the locals help you with the language and directions, they’ll also tell you the best routes, smart traveling hacks and various money saving tips. You can also learn about the best eating joints from them.

If you are able to get settled on your first day without trouble, then rest assured the rest of your days will be equally adventurous in this new city.
